Massage Envy, the pioneer and national leader of profes-sional, convenient and affordable massage and spa services, is spreading the spirit of wellness this season with their holiday gift cards. From stocking stuffers to presents under the tree, local residents can be sure everyone on their list will love receiving a Massage Envy gift card.

“For family members, friends and colleagues, there’s no better gift than the gift of wellness,” said Charlie Marsh, Regional Developer of Massage Envy in Indiana. “The holiday season is stressful enough. Instead of braving the overcrowded mall and fighting for a parking spot, make it easy this year by visiting one of the five clinics on the Northside of Indianapolis. Our custom therapeutic mas-sages are perfect for those in need of ’me time’ to de-stress and rejuvenate.”

“A gift card from Massage Envy is the perfect choice. It can be for any denomination and your loved one is sure to remember your thoughtfulness for years to come, “ states Marsh. “Not only are you giving a gift of relaxation, it is also something that can be beneficial to the health. Mas-sage is known to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and improve pain and stiffness, as well as many other benefits. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.”

A gift card can be gift wrapped on-site in seconds for free . Looking for something more? All locations have “extras” to make the gift even more special, such as teddy bears, candles, or complete spa packages-- including a gift

card, candles, aroma therapy, etc. There is a gift for every budget!

Massage Envy offers a variety of massage treatments to choose from including Swedish, Trigger Point, Deep Tis-sue, Sports, Prenatal and Geriatric. All sessions can be cus-tomized to provide relief of key areas that cause tension, stress or pain. Additionally, AromaTherapy and the Deep Muscle Therapy can be added to any massage to enhance the therapeutic experience.

Addition to Massage, sev-

eral locations offer facials. Through an exclusive partner-ship with global skincare leader Murad®, Massage Envy provides affordable, healthy skin care beyond traditional massage therapy. Murad® healthy skin facials, as well as products for purchase, make great gifts this holiday season. Customers can choose from four different facials includ-ing Environmental Shield® Vitamin C, Clarifying Enzyme Acne, Anti-Aging and Sensitive Skin.

There are five convenient locations in Northern In-dianapolis. Two are in Carmel: 106th and Michigan Rd along with 146th and Meridian. Two are in Noblesville at Hamilton Town Center and at State Road 37 and Pleasant. And, there is a new location in Fishers at 116th near Super Target. Does your loved one live in another State? No problem! Gift Certificates purchased at any of these loca-tions can be used at any of the 700 locations Nationwide!

Because of its versatility, it is great for stocking stuffers, or it can be the big wow gift. So, stop into Massage Envy, and relax..... Massage Envy will make this holiday season stress free for you.... and for them! For more information, visit MassageEnvy.com.

Where to find Kris Kringle and tell him your holiday wants

There’s a reason why the winter holiday season is called “the most wonderful time of the year” – people are more jolly, giving and caring for family, friends and people unknown. As the weather turns colder, the warmth in our hearts heats up.

In our office, we thought long and hard about what approach we wanted when planning this year’s Holidays 2011. There were so many facets discussed about the sea-son, and as we tossed around ideas, it came down to this: the thing we most love about the holidays is family, friends and others around us. For us, this meant keeping the holiday local.

The goal of the Holidays 2011 is to highlight the events, people and businesses that are avail-able to you here in Hamilton County.

We know there are many options for custom-ers during the holiday season but our friends who own the shops and restaurants around

Noblesville Square, downtown Westfield, Fishers and the Arts & Design District in Carmel should be just as much a part of the holiday as our family visiting from out of town.

We’ve also done extensive work to make sure to highlight the best events taking place locally to keep you and your family entertained during the holidays, because there are so many options to keep the little ones and grown-ups busy in the coming weeks.

Tips for shopping and party hosting and delicious recipes from

the Hamilton County Extension Home-makers will help make Santa’s big visit a little bit easier, and a little bit more creative. Saving you time on your shopping and planning, we hope, will help you make this the best holiday yet. Spend this time with friends and family, and enjoy what makes the holiday really special.

We wish you and your family a delightful holiday season filled with love, joy and peace.

From the Staff: We love a local holiday

[email protected] work and family life is already

demanding, and with the holidays coming, it can entail much more cleaning, cooking, decorating, shopping and partying. Depression and other seasonal affective disorders are fairly common during the winter months. If previous holidays have taken an emotional toll on you, it might be time to adopt a better strategy:

Plan activities. Try not to overcrowd your schedule too much so that it can allow you to rest, and still take pleasure in the preparations you are making. Create lists of the presents that you need to purchase, as well as the grocery goods that need to be bought. An untimely trip to the grocery store due to a forgotten ingredient can eat up your time, as well as add more stress.

Designate tasks with other members of the family. All of us want a perfect celebration, but the simple fact remains that a perfect Christmas celebration is impossible. Try not to pressure your-self too much, and let others help you out.

Share your thoughts with your spouse or a friend. Although the holidays can provide a lot of good cheer, it can be difficult to lift your spirits if you are feeling down. If you just lost a loved one recently, or if you are away from your family, it

is alright to feel low. Whatever you are feeling, it can help a lot if you share it with another person.

Stick to your budget. Never let spending get out of hand. While gift giving is great, try to be practical and buy only the ones which you can afford. You may additionally want to create customized presents – they may not cost much, but can mean a lot because of the time invested to create them.

Try to eat healthy, and exercise when you can. The holidays may be a time for temptation as well. If you allow yourself to overindulge, it can also add to the stress and guilt. If you want to survive the holidays without gaining a lot of weight, try to maintain the healthy habits.

Take time to rest. What is important is that you clear your mind from all the stress that you are handling. A right mindset is crucial, to avoid being stressed out.

Try to let go of things you cannot control. If you feel that the turkey did not turn out the way you wished, or if you forgot to add some ingre-dients to a recipe, it’s perfectly fine. Christmas will always be special and complete with all its imper-fections. Try not to be troubled too much and let go of your stress. Simply enjoy the togetherness of family and the love that this season brings.

Seven tips to keep your cool during the holidays

Shop will feature the handmade goods of more than 40 local, regional, and national artists and crafters. Handmade products ranging from housewares to jewelry, bath and body products to toys for kids will be available when the shop opens Monday inside the Art Bank, 811 Mass Ave. Indianapolis.

“The Handmade Promenade Holiday Pop Up Shop is aimed at individuals who like to give local, handmade goods for the holidays and the Pop Up Shop will help make that even easier by bringing the work of over 40 artists into one

location for easy holiday shopping,” said Martha Latta, the shop’s founder. “It will be like shopping online on Etsy, but you can hold the products in your hand, know that you like the products, and you won’t have to pay any shipping.”

Latta decided to open the shop because she wanted to make it easier for customers in downtown Indianapolis to have access to local and handmade goods during the holiday buying season. The Handmade Promenade Holiday Pop Up Shop will be open Monday to Dec. 31. Hours of operation and a detailed list of vendors is avail-able online at http://handmadepromenade.com.

Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial on Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps. - The Newseum

• • •DEAR EDITOR:I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say

there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’

Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?Virginia O’Hanlon

115 West Ninety-Fifth Street• • •

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skepti-cal age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He

exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.

Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unsee-able in the world.

You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

By Robert [email protected] that perfect piece of jewelry for

a loved one can be a daunting task. Jewelry terms can seem like a foreign language for men but don’t fret because two local jewelry employees have some tips to help men save time and find the perfect gift to place under the tree.

“It can be a little intimidating coming to a jewelry store and see-ing pieces for $100,000,” said Jan Martin of Jem Jewellers. “We have something for everyone – all price points.”

Lisa Bartley of Smith’s Jewelers on the Square in Noblesville says men should start with the basics.

“Does she have diamond studs? All girls want diamond studs,” she said. “Or things that she can wear every day at work, on a date or at dinner with friends.”

Men should also pay attention to the hobbies or profession of the person they are buying for. If she is a teacher or a stay-at-home mom, Bartley says very dressy jewelry would not be the best choice since they could not wear it daily and a watch or casual pair of earrings would be a better choice.

“What is relevant to her season of life right

now,” Bartley asks.Bartley also suggests that communication

between shopper and worker is key.“If you have an idea of what you are

looking to spend we can help direct you to appropriate pieces,” she said. “The more infor-mation we have, such as a certain collection

she already owns, the easier the experience is.”

Some places, like Jem Jewellers’ offer to keep a file on ladies and their wish lists.

“We ask that they select three to five things so she’ll be surprised by what you pick out,” Martin said.

If you have no clue what kind of jewelry you are looking for, Bartley and Martin have a few suggestions.

Men can’t go wrong with diamond jewelry – colored diamonds, black and white diamonds, and a diamond key and locket.

“Any kind of right hand ring is popular,” said Bartley. “Big colored stones are really

fashionable right now.”Another popular item during

the holiday season is for men to redo wedding sets. Martin added that customized jewelry like per-sonalized pendants with children’s names or birthstones are becoming very popular with male buyers.

“Men usually like things they can add on to,” she said. “Ladies like having several different watches – casual and dressy.”

Shoppers who are new to jewelry buying are encouraged to talk to their friends for suggestions about where to go.

“Go for reputation. Don’t be afraid to ask around. Find a friend you trust to get advise,” said Bartley, adding that when all else fails to shop local. “You can get your best deal locally. Representatives are willing to work with you.”

The four “C’s”Carat: One carat equals 200 milligrams in weight.Clarity: The clarity scale includes 11 grades ranging from flawless to I. Because diamonds form under tremendous heat and pressure, it is extremely rare to find a diamond that lacks any internal and external characteristics. Color: The color scale extends from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Although many people think of gem quality diamonds as colorless, truly colorless diamonds are actually very rare. Most diamonds used in jewelry are nearly colorless with tints of yellow or brown. Each letter grade represents a range of color and is a measure of how noticeable a color is.Cut: The cut scale ranges from excellent to poor. A polished diamond’s beauty lies in its complex relation-ship with light: how light strikes the surface, how much enters the diamond and how, and it what form light returns to your eye. The result is a magnificent display of three attributes. Brightness is the combina-tion of all white light reflecting from the surface and interior of a diamond. Fire describes the “flares” of color emitted from a diamond. Scintillation describes the flashes of light you see when the diamond, light or observer moves.The four “C’s” provide a way to objectively compare and evaluate diamonds, but numbers alone can’t de-scribe a diamond’s mysterious and captivating beauty – for that, you’ll have to visit your local jeweler to see one for yourself.

Hamilton County shop-pers have options for toys beyond the big-box stores.

The county boasts a number of locally owned chil-dren’s stores offering unique – and sometimes antique – toys and other gifts.

“My Toy Garden” opened in September at 301 E. Carmel Dr. The owner, Janet Pillsbury, was a teacher for 17 years working with inner city, at-risk and special needs stu-dents teaching everything from preschool to eighth grade. She also worked for five years with a direct sales company special-izing in educational toys.

“It is through a love of these families that My Toy Garden was created,” said Pillsbury. “It is our goal to give all families a place to come, enjoy, connect, learn and be inspired. The shelves are brimming with everything from the completely silly to the fun yet deceptively educational toys.”

The store is full of toys and items designed for children with special needs or Autism that traditional children will also enjoy. Pillsbury said the store’s inventory comes from 140 vendors – mainly small mom and pop stores that only offer

a few items.“It’s a very unique prod-

uct selection,” she said.Pillsbury said her store is

divided into seven areas, called pathways of wonder: Creative Expression with pretend and art items; Active Play with balls, jump ropes and other toys to get children up and mov-ing; Games with items to practice skills and problem solving; Sensory Exploration with infant and toddler toys; Construction toys for fun and problem solving; Puzzles and Patterns to work on math and social studies skills; and a Literary area with

books, reading tools and audio/visual items.One of Pillsbury’s best sellers is “Spotted,” a match-

ing game for all ages. The $12.99 game is contained in a round tin so it makes it easy to pack in a purse or bag to take on the go. The Plasma Car, available for $69.99, is another toy that we can’t keep in stock. Pillsbury said the car can hold up to 150 pounds so children and parents can both enjoy a ride.

My Toy Garden is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thurs-day and Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 571-1234 or visit www.mytoygarden.com.

We all have that dream Christmas day picture in our mind – snow is gently falling outside, glowing embers in the fireplace, smiling faces, stuffed stockings and neatly wrapped presents under the tree. It’s the image that Nor-man Rockwell painted and is engraved in our minds. Everyone is jolly and glad to be gather-ing around the artificial tree, right?

Real trees are the traditional choice and provide something for all five senses. While fake trees have begun to look more and more like real trees, the simple truth is nothing compares to the original. Real trees are also more aestheti-cally appealing to the eyes. Real trees offer lots of unique selections to choose from. No matter how hard you try, no two are the same so this year’s display will not be identical to last year’s.

The easiest argument for real trees is the scent. You just can’t beat the smell of a fresh cut tree.

No matter how many Yankee Candles you burn, nothing compares to the fragrance of a true tree – the wood, the sap, the needles. Just reading this, can’t you smell, see and feel true needles in your hand? And while I wouldn’t ad-vise it, would you rather taste a real or fake tree?

According to the U.S. EPA, approximately 33 million real Christmas trees are sold in North America each year and when one is harvested one to three seedlings are planted. Also, the EPA estimated that 93 percent of trees are recycled each year – making it better for the environment than its plastic counterparts.

Real trees do have the downside of reoccur-ring costs, but when you purchase real trees you are helping the economy. Real trees are raised and sold within the U.S. while 85 percent of fake trees are imported by China. The funds help sustain the rural economy and provide jobs.

Real trees reach all the senses by Robert Herrington

Let’s get this out of the way up front: I lied. And I’m sorry about it. Back in the day, when my bride, Sally, our daughters, Annie and Rachel, and I used to travel to her hometown of Wichita, Kan., for Christmas, I steadfastly was opposed to buying a real tree for the season. No one would be home to water it in our absence, and the fire risk and maintenance just weren’t worth it. I told her that if we ever stayed home for Christmas, we would get a real tree. Uh, we’ve stayed home more than a handful of years since, and a “glorious” (not to her) fake spruce makes its annual appearance to this day. See, one year, against her mighty protestations, I hauled the family to a big-box store that was going out of business, got the kids all jazzed up on hot cocoa and had them “help” me convince her it was time for an artificial tree. The vote was 3-0; Sally didn’t vote, simply giving in. So

the fake spruce has had a prominent place in the living room, and scores of gifts have been stuffed beneath it. I can’t begin to tell you the sheer joy I experience by not having to wipe sap from my hands, not having to listen to the needles dancing on the hardwood floor through-out the night, and I don’t worry about the risk of tinder for a fire. The tree is lush green, and it stays lush green – all throughout the summer in its box in the attic, no water required. Still and all, it’s time to make amends. So Sally’s first sur-prise of the Christmas season this year will be – you guessed it – a REAL, LIVE TREE. There is a multi-part caveat, though. That sucker will be secondary to the fake one, it will be fresher than fresh, I refuse to attend to its maintenance and I’m mixed on whether it will be allowed past the front door. Humble apologies and Merry Christmas, dear.

Who’s with me? Fake trees rule! by Steve Greenberg

There was a time when nothing other than a live tree would do. Artificial tree? I’d have none of it. I had fond memories as a kid heading out with my family hunting for that perfect tree. We all had our favorite ornaments and lights and looked forward to trying our hand at creating that perfect tree.

After I got married my wife, Maggie, had an artificial tree and convinced me it was the way to go. After realizing the ease of cleanup, I couldn’t have agreed with her more.

Well, it’s now time for another change. Although I thoroughly enjoy the holidays and all the parties, food, libations, friends and family, there’s one area I could really do without: decorating. I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much as my wife handles this task with precision; the house and trees (yes, I said trees, as in plural) look fantastic.

However, I’ve got an idea on how to cut down on all the hassle - holograms.

Ok, I know I’m going to get a lot flak over this suggestion, especially from Maggie.

The technology isn’t there just yet, so we’ll

call this my Christmas “dream”, but I under-stand Microsoft is making some real inroads with its research utilizing kinetic technology, and has developed a prototype “augmented projec-tor.” It’s on its way.

Think about it. Imagine going to your laptop or smart phone and turning on a projector that creates a hologram of your favorite type of tree, festooned with ornaments, lights, etc. Do you have heirloom ornaments you’d like to see dis-played? No problem; scan them in and there they are. Install projectors outdoors and you have a beautiful wreath on the front door, or a wonderful nativity scene in your front yard.

When it’s available, and if you’re an early adopter of this technology, you’re no doubt go-ing to get a lot grief for taking a crass shortcut or for being flat-out lazy. Worry not. After the holidays are over you can pick up your smart phone and simply shut everything off. You can then call all your friends and family members to see how all the packing and storing in coming along. And laugh.

Where’s my hologram tree? by Brian Kelly

By Christopher LloydThe tradition of wonderful holiday movies is

long and vibrant – whether you’re into the warm nostalgia of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” post-modern irony with “A Christmas Story” or the gut-busting laughs of a “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.”

Unfortunately, for every holiday film that shines like a fresh-cut Christmas tree, there’s an-other one that seems to do nothing but drop pine needles on the audience. Here are 10 of the worst holiday movies ever made, in alphabetical order.

Christmas With the Kranks – Tim Allen has a whole dossier of crimes against holiday movies with the awful “Santa Clause” franchise. But nothing quite equals this flick about a pair of middle-aged empty nesters who decide to forego Christmas until their daughter decides to visit at the last minute. Based on a John Grisham novel, and it’s no mystery he needs to stay away from comedies.

Deck the Halls – This little-seen would-be com-edy stars Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick as a pair of warring neighbors who battle to see who can create the most lavish Yuletide decora-tions. Broad humor and narrow ambitions make for one unfunny outing.

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas – Marking the beginning of the end of Jim Carrey’s career as a cutting-edge comedian, this over-produced take on the classic Seuss story spawned an addition to Disney theme parks, but few lasting memories.

Home for the Holidays – This dirge-like drame-

dy stars Holly Hunter as a down-on-her-luck single mother abandoned by her daughter on Thanks-giving, and forced to return to her own parents’ house for turkey with a huge side of loathing.

Jack Frost – Michael Keaton’s own “Patch Adams,” this treacly special-effects bonanza finds a suburban dad trying to bond with his wife and kids after being reanimated as a living snowman.

Jingle All the Way – The Yule is cruel in this sloppy marriage of an Arnold Schwarzenegger action film with tender life-lessons and magic mo-ments. A harried father will do anything to get the season’s hot toy for his boy.

Reindeer Games – Another incongruous mixture of mayhem and mirth, this movie stars Ben Affleck as an ex-con roped into a holiday casino heist. The slots were definitely loaded against this one.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians – Tongue-in-cheek cheese-fest or just plain “Plan 9 from Outer Space” bad? I’ll vote for the latter in this daffy story about Santa being kidnapped to bring toys to little green children.

Santa Claus: The Movie – This big-budget flop from 1985 is barely even remembered, and with good reason. Dudley Moore plays Santa’s No. 1 elf, who grows a tad rebellious and strikes out on his own with the help of an evil toy tycoon.

Surviving Christmas – Ben Affleck strikes again! This time he plays a young, rich jerk who gives James Gandolfini and his family $250,000 to spend Christmas with him. Audiences wished they’d gotten paid to sit through this one.

Here are a few safety tips for those wanting to avoid the lines and shop from home:

Go straight to the site. Rather than browse to online retailers through a search engine where you may encounter malicious links, type the store’s URL directly in your browser.

Be strict about passwords. Use a different password for each site, don’t let the browser store passwords for you, and consider using a password manager instead of writing down all your passwords manually.

Look for the ‘signs of security. Always look for the https prefix in the URL and the padlock icon in the browser’s status bar. If you shop at an online retailer that uses SSL encryption, make

sure the address bar turns green as a signal that the page is secure.

Keep PayPal your pal. Check your PayPal accounts frequently to look out for any fraud. Use a credit card rather than a debit card online so you can stop payments quickly in the event of a problem.

Watch for seasonal scams. Be cautious with e-mails claiming to be shipping confirmation or package alerts that force you to open a file attachment. Delete any message that claims to provide tracking information but doesn’t include a tracking number. Your best bet is to track a package through the retailer’s or shipper’s Web site. *Information provided by www.cnet.com
